VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Renaming multiple files Author: N5RDC [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:27:50 07/12/05 Tue This is especially useful for photos uploaded from a digital camera. Instead of those long numbers assigned to each photo by the camera, rename several files or all the files in a folder at once. To rename all files in a folder, open the folder and click [EDIT] in the toolbar, then [SELECT ALL]. This will highlight all files. Next, right-click the first file & select [RENAME]. Type in a name that is descriptive of all files in the folder and click [OK] or press [ENTER]. All the files will now have the same name, but Windows will add an ascending number to each file (in parenthesis). It is this number that identifies each file. To rename several files, but not all files in a folder, click the first file once, then click the last file while holding down the [SHIFT] key. This will highlight the first & last file and all the files in between. Proceed as above. This works in all versions of Windows. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
